5.0 out of 5 stars The very best of books, 24 Oct 2008
By Mrs. K. Ho (derby) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I picked up this book really after spotting the cute dog, I dont usually read factual books and I dont have a dog, but the book captured me from the first page. I even carried on reading it in the early hours as I tried to get my one year old son back to sleep. fabulous book, am so sad Ive finished it.

5.0 out of 5 stars a deeply honest, entertaining and deeply touching memoir, 6 Oct 2008
By Jessica Horn "Jessie" (London, England) - See all my reviews
This is a touching and funny account of a family tragedy - with all the stoicism and self-deprecating humour one would expect from a witty and sophisticated English author, who had to face life after her beloved companion died suddenly of cancer. it was her onerous responsibility to bring some light into the house once again, and her sole concern was for her sensitive, only son, who at such a tender age had to witness the illness and death of his father. what follows is a brave romp through trials and misfortune, and ultimately, happiness, and a reconciliation with the thunderbolts life brings. the little King Charles Spaniel, George, is the little fluffy and mischievous hero who brings fun and joy back into a family grieving for their beloved Udi. Highly recommended. With illustrations by the cartoonist Marf.

5.0 out of 5 stars A biopgraphy of a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel, 6 Jan 2009
I found this book absolutely delightful and it clearly is a biography of a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. My parents own a Blenheim called 'Murphy' and my sister had a Blenheim called 'Mr Chips and she now has a Blenheim puppy called 'Hugo Boss' and the book could have most certainly been entitled 'My Life with Murphy' or 'My Life with Chips' and even ' My Life with Hugo-Boss' - it is Cavalier King Charles to a 'T' - they are born to rule!

A book I thoroughly enjoyed reading and highly recommended!! I feel a copy should be available to all prospective buyers of King Charles Spaniels - just so that you know what you will be letting yourself in for!!
